 A
Solution:

From the coordinates draw perpendiculars on x-axis namely AF, BG, CH, DI and EJ

For point A
Distance from y-axis = OF = -6 units
Distance from x-axis = AF = 5 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point A are (-6, 5)
L
For point B
Distance from y-axis = OG = 5 units
Distance from x-axis = BG = 4 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point B are (5, 4)

For point C
Distance from y-axis = OH = -3 units
Distance from x-axis = HC = 2 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point C are (-3, 2)
Q
For point D
Distance from y-axis = OI = 2 units
Distance from x-axis = ID = -2 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point D are (2, -2)

For point E
Distance from y-axis = OJ = -1 unit
Distance from x-axis = JE = -4 units
Therefore, the coordinates of point E are (-1, - 4)

3. For each of the following points, write the quadrant in which it lies.
(i) (-6, 3)
(ii) (-5, -3)
(iii) (11, 6)

(iv) (1, -4)
(v) (-7, -4)
(vi) (4, -1)
(vii) (-3, 8)
(viii) (3, -8)
Solution:

(i) For the coordinate (-6, 3)

-6 which is the x-coordinate is negative and 3 which is the y-coordinate is positive.
Therefore, (-6, 3) lies in the II quadrant.

(ii) For the coordinate (-5, -3)

-5 which is the x-coordinate is negative and -3 which is the y-coordinate is negative.

A
Therefore, (-5, -3) lies in the III quadrant.

(iii) For the coordinate (11, 6)

11 which is the x-coordinate is positive and 6 which is the y-coordinate is positive.
Therefore, (11, 6) lies in I quadrant.

(iv) For the coordinate (1, -4)

1 which is the x-coordinate is positive and -4 which is the y-coordinate is negative.
Therefore, (1, -4) lies in the IV quadrant.

(v) For the coordinate (-7, -4)

-7 which is the x-coordinate is negative and -4 which is the y-coordinate is negative.
L
Therefore, (-7, -4) lies in the III quadrant.

(vi) For the coordinate (4, -1)

4 which is the x-coordinate is positive and -1 which is the y-coordinate is negative.
Therefore, (4, -1) lies in the IV quadrant.

(vii) For the coordinate (-3, 8)

-3 which is the x-coordinate is negative and 8 which is the y-coordinate is positive.
Therefore, (-3, 8) lies in the II quadrant.
Q
(viii) For the coordinate (3, -8)
3 which is the x-coordinate is positive and -8 which is the y-coordinate is negative.
Therefore, (3, -8) lies in the IV quadrant.

4. Write the axis on which the given point lies.

(i) (2, 0)
(ii) (0, -5)
(iii) (-4, 0)
(iv) (0, -1)
Solution:

(i) Since the point (2, 0) is of the form (x, 0) it lies on the x-axis.

(ii) Since the point (0, -5) is of the form (0, y) it lies on the y-axis.

(iii) Since the point (-4, 0) is of the form (x, 0) it lies on the x-axis.

(iv) Since the point (0, -1) is of the form (0, y) it lies on the y-axis.

5. Which of the following points lie on the x-axis?

(i) A (0, 8)
(ii) B (4, 0)
(iii) C (0, -3)
(iv) D (-6, 0)
(v) E (2, 1)
(vi) F (-2, -1)
(vii) G (-1, 0)
(viii) H (0, -2)

A
Solution:

The points which lie on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0)
Therefore, the points which lie on the x-axis are B (4, 0), D (-6, 0) and G (-1, 0).

6. Plot the points A (2, 5), B (-2, 2) and C (4, 2) on a graph paper. Join AB, BC and AC. Calculate the
area of △ ABC.
Solution:
L
Q

Construct a line AM which is perpendicular to BC

Area of △ ABC = 1/2 × b × h
= 1/2 × BC × AM
So on further calculation we get
Area of △ ABC = 1/2 × 6 × 3
Area of △ ABC = 9 sq. units

7. Three vertices of a rectangle ABCD are A (3, 1), B (-3, -1) and C (-3, 3). Plot these points on the
graph paper and find the coordinates of the fourth vertex D. Also, find the area of the rectangle
ABCD.

NOTES BY ~ QUANTA LEARNING ACADEMY (QLA)

Solution:

From the graph

Area of rectangle ABCD = l × b

= AB × BC
On further calculation we get
Area of rectangle ABCD = 6 × 2
A
The coordinates of point D are (3, 3)
L
Area of rectangle ABCD = 12 sq. units
